Our challenges are monthly, based on an inspirational photo and a colour swatch. A new challenge is launched on the third Wednesday of every month and you can use any medium to create your projects; paints, inks, pencils, pens, etc, as long as you keep to the colours from the colour swatch in your project. We offer a monthly prize of £15 and the winner is drawn by Random.org from those entries that have used Chocolate Baroque stamps currently available on the website. We welcome entries from anyone however, and all entries will be considered by the DT members for a slot in the Top Three each month.

This week, we have some more inspiration from the DT. Our first project is an Autumnal card from Maria:

Our second project is from Doreen, who has kindly written step by step instructions for her pretty card:

Using the red, yellow and violet Pan Pastels, cover the white card. Start with yellow at the bottom then red and blend in the violet.

Spray the background with hairspray, this will seal the Pan Pastels allowing you to stamp more clearly.

Stamp the image and sentiment using Black Archival Ink and dry with a heat gun or leave to dry for ten minutes.

Using the eraser, rub off some of the Pan Pastels from inside your images. This does not have to be perfect.

Using the Pan Pastels and a slightly damp paintbrush, colour the image. Do not over wet the brush, dab it onto some kitchen roll to take off the excess water.

Doodle around the image using the Micron pen.

Adhere the image to the red card blank.

Thank you so much Maria and Doreen for your inspiration this week. We will be back next week with another post and more projects for you. We look forward to seeing more of your entries, so dig out your crafting stash and have some fun!

You can add you entries to the Inlinkz link here.
